Integrate, connect and send SMS messages from your web, mobile or desktop application.

Overview

The Blackbox API was created to enable developers to easily integrate their applications with the Blackbox gateway.

The API has a number of functions which allow you to interact with the gateway using code (programmatically) instead of the web interface.

It enables you to carry out the following actions:

  • Send SMS
  • Check SMS credits balance
  • Subscribe customer to an SMS shortcode
  • Unsubscribe customer from an SMS shortcode

This documentation is intended to guide you to execute these actions using REST specifically HTTP POST, JSON or XML via the language specific client SDKs.

The current version of the API is v1.3.0.
